Burano - the colourful island

Bura­no, the small island in the lagoon of Venice is known for its colour­ful hous­es. Leg­end says that the colours were used by the fish­er­men to find their way home on fog­gy days - or when they were drunk. The colours of the hous­es are not cho­sen arbi­trar­i­ly. For cen­turies it has been estab­lished that a new coat of paint must be applied for at the author­i­ties and the colour must be agreed upon. You can see more pic­tures of Venice in my Gallery.

African Cats in impressive portraits

A high­light of a safari in Africa is the sight­ing of the big cats. At times, this allows for par­tic­u­lar­ly expres­sive shots of the beau­ti­ful ani­mals at a close range. This cal­en­dar con­tains 13 impres­sive large-for­mat and high-res­o­lu­tion por­traits of these fas­ci­nat­ing ele­gant ani­mals in their nat­ur­al habi­tat. All of them were tak­en in the Masai Mara in Kenya, Africa’s most ani­mal-rich game reserve.

Leopards in the wild

Leop­ards are the most beau­ti­ful cats of prey in Africa. Since they are lon­ers and most­ly hid­den in bush­es, they are dif­fi­cult to find. This cal­en­dar con­tains unique pic­tures of these fas­ci­nat­ing ani­mals in the wild. All pho­tos were tak­en in the wild in Kenya and Tanzania.

Japan - between tradition and modernity

Japan had already impressed us on our first trip in 2014. We there­fore vis­it­ed the coun­try again at the begin­ning of 2023, this time under the guid­ance of our daugh­ter, who now learns the lan­guage. The pic­tures were tak­en dur­ing a 2 1/2-week round trip to Tokyo, Kyō­to, Hiroshi­ma and Mount Fuji. You can find more pic­tures of this trip in the gallery, and exten­sive fur­ther infor­ma­tion in my exten­sive trav­el report.

Costa Rica - Tropical Paradise

In March of 2024, we vis­it­ed North and South Amer­i­ca for the first time. This time our des­ti­na­tion was Cos­ta Rica in Cen­tral Amer­i­ca. We made a roundtrip with our own 4x4 vehi­cle from the Caribbean Sea through the moun­tain­ous cen­ter to the Pacif­ic coast. Some pic­tures of the trip can be found in my Cos­ta Rica gallery, and I have also writ­ten a detailed trav­el report about this fan­tas­tic trip. Here is a small pre­view of the pictures:

Tromsø in the polar night

Dur­ing the almost two-month-long polar night in Trom­sø in north­ern Nor­way, north of the Arc­tic Cir­cle, the sun does not appear above the hori­zon. Only about 3 to 4 hours a day there is twi­light, which offers a very spe­cial light atmos­phere. This cal­en­dar con­tains 13 high-qual­i­ty images, some tak­en with drones, tak­en dur­ing this time. A detailed illus­trat­ed trav­el report about our week in Trom­sø can be found here.
